Hanna Petrescu

Hanna Petrescu is the protagonist of Hanna.

Raised in a remote forest by her father Erik, Hanna was trained to fight and survive. When discovered by Utrax, a top-secret organization intent on capturing her, she is forced to use her training to escape. While running for her life, it is revealed that Hanna was born at the Utrax facility - the product of a clandestine program to create genetically perfect assassins - and that others just like her were still being held at the facility. She returns to Utrax to rescue the other girls, but only one, Clara, is willing to leave. After her father is killed in the battle, Hanna returns to the forest with Clara. She knows that Utrax will come looking for them.

Background
Hanna was first shown in Romania in a facility. Her father Erik Heller went along to save her and bring her back to her mother. After Hanna was brought back to her mother, Johanna Petrescu, the government went on a chase after the Heller's and Erik ended up crashing the car; resulting in Hanna's mom's death when she was a baby.

Erik Heller continues to run and ends up living and growing up with Hanna in the forest with their own cabin. While they live there Hanna is trained like a soldier to fight and survive and hunt. Erik says that Hanna needs to know how to survive when he isn't there.

Hanna is forbidden to go past red lines marked in the trees because the government can find Erik and Hanna. Hanna ends up growing up for most of her adolescence there being closed in until she escapes.

When Hanna is found by the government she is part of a program called UTRAX where girls are trained to be programmed killing machines.
